another snow day 02/11/2010
 
at the request of our family on the west coast here are more pictures of snowpocalypse.

Yesterday morning

Today

 
 
Yes, it's true. We got hit with another snowy storm last night and it's still going strong. It's incredible the amount of snow that is on the ground. I have not been to my office since last Thursday. Our street had not been plowed since the first storm hit, 6 days ago and today, they've already plowed it 3 times. It's craziness out there and I must say this storm seem much worse because it's so much more windy. 


Ian happened to get us a new camera the night the first storm started so we've been taking a ton of pictures trying to figure it out. Here are some that have been taken over the last few days while we've been stuck indoors. 
 
The sun is out! 02/07/2010
 
After being stuck inside for the last couple of days, Ian and I decided to suit up and head outside for a walk. We ended up meeting our friends in Chinatown and got some fun shots along the way. 
 
 
Here are some pictures of the winter storm that hit us this weekend. We got at least 2 feet of snow! It's definitely the most snow that has fallen since I moved here. It made for a lazy weekend full of watching tv, movies and ian playing video games. 
 
DC Glassworks 01/20/2010
 
Last weekend, Ian and I went to an open house at DC Glassworks where I got the chance to make my very own paper weight. It was so cool! The hardest part was remembering to keep turning the melted glass so it wouldn't become lopsided. I don't have a picture of the finish product because we haven't gone back to pick it up but I'm sure it's a work of art ;)
 
 
Here a few pics of us on Christmas morning opening presents. And who got the most presents this year.... the dogs, of course!
 
Merry Christmas 12/25/2009
 
Ian and I had a wonderful Christmas this year in DC. It was so nice to be able to stay home and not deal with all the hustle and bustle of travelling. Our friends Bethany and Phillip came to town on Christmas Eve and we had the most delicious dinner at Wolfgang Puck's The Source. Since it was Christmas Eve, there was no menu and to our surprise, the chef was cooking whatever he felt like cooking (with consideration to any food restrictions). It was incredible! We had a total of 16 different dishes, including 4 of the best desserts ever. After dinner we made some hot toddies and headed over to see the National Christmas tree and the Capitol tree.
 
Snow Storm 12/19/2009
 
The east coast got hit by a huge snow storm and DC managed to get over a foot of snow. Unfortunately, it happened on a Saturday and by the time Monday rolled around, all the roads were clear so no snow days for us. The poor dogs were miserable in the snow and cold and preferred to stay inside in their pj's.
 
Happy Holidays! 12/08/2009

Home Sweet Home 11/14/2009
 
We got to go home in November for a quick trip to celebrate Ian's mother's 60th birthday and for me to meet my cousin in Seattle after over 25 years since the first time we met. 


We had a wonderful time in Spokane, especially because no one knew we were coming and we surprised everyone!


Ian stayed in Spokane while I spent a few days in Seattle. Although, it rained the entire time, it was great to see my cousin and do a little site seeing. I also managed to squeeze in a fun little girls night out on the town, just like the old days!
